Custom headicon problems

[EvoloZz]

I've started to work on custom rank system like in CoD: UO, and I am almost done with it, shader works, statusicon works, but headicon doesnt. I tried modifying some headicon related stuff in _friendicons and _quickmessages, but i cant seem to get it to work. The headicons does not show over the head of player, headicons are precached and everything. If somebody could help me with it, i would really appreciate.

What are your settings in asset manager? It should be 2d and blend for headicons.
(also for which cod is it)

I mean the .iwi files were already in the stock game, so thats not the problem

[Mitch]

So you are replacing headicon_american.iwi? (this one is 64x64)

[EvoloZz]

nope, in the scripts itself i am trying to set headicons for every rank

You can only set 15 headicons. (might be one more, but the limit is low)

What materials are you using? It could be that they have the wrong settings. I thought you were using your own custom images.

There are only 8 ranks, similiar to eXtreme+ or something.
And yeah I used the same .iwi files for statusicon, so i am sure they should work in the headicons also

Edit:
I think its just because of the scripts

The _friendicons.gsc script will always override your rank script. I wrote the ranking system for the eXtreme+ mod back in 2006 and I had the exact same problem. You need to look at the eXtreme _friendicons.gsc file and see how I handled a ranking system with rank headicons.

BTW - you can use the same shader as a statusicon, but it will show through buildings. Use the ones out of eXtreme+ mod. It sets the alpha depth test correctly to prevent the rank headicons showing through walls.

Isn't the limit lower? Isn't it only 12 max? I only used 12 in my mod, but I can't remember whether it was because the statusicon max limit was 12, or whether headicons is 12.

I forgot the right limit. I have seen the error message that says this limit.

Edit: I just checked and it is 15.

******* script runtime error *******
Too many player head icons precached. Max allowed is 15: (file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_ranks.gsc', line 129)
